Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 649 Anchorage Grand Project

At this time, the entrance of the Anchorage Police Department was surrounded by police cars, and the Alaska State Police were running around the police station as if they had taken stimulants, arranging something...

There is a highway in front of the police station and a large square park behind it.

The entire police station is divided into three parts. The open spaces in the front and sides are parking lots, and the main buildings of the police station are the front and back buildings...

The two-story building in front is not small in size but is very dilapidated. It is mainly used for external police offices.

The six-story building behind is the internal office area of the Anchorage Police Department.

Now hundreds of policemen and several STER special police working in armored vehicles are all deployed around the two-story building in front, and snipers are in place on the roof of the building at the back.

However, seeing the crowd around and the policemen seemed busy but always laughing, Shanying was a little puzzled.

Shanying didn't know the commander at the scene, but he knew Sheriff Redick.

The fat police officer was currently surrounding a white-haired man in police uniform, along with several state police special operations personnel STER in black combat uniforms. They were respectful and fawning, but they did not show any signs of nervousness.

When big man David and Kobe got out of the car to negotiate with the on-site commander, Shanying took out his phone and called Sheriff Redick...

This fat guy has been promoted twice in the past six months because he has solved many major cases. Now he is considered a top-notch police officer in Anchorage and even in Alaska. It would be a good idea to ask him about this situation.

After the call was connected, Sheriff Redick curiously walked out of the yellow fenced area and looked around...

When he saw Shanying push the door, get out of the car and wave to him, he smiled and greeted the policemen around him, then waved to Shanying to come over.

Mountain Eagle waved to Redick, then turned to look at the donkey and said, "Use the drone to investigate the situation around the police station, and notify me if you have any news."

Donkey didn't know much about crows, so he said with some embarrassment: "Boss, the drone is staring at the Marriott Hotel..."

Shanying smiled mysteriously, and said as he walked: "Don't worry, there are some here too, I will give you permission..."

After saying that, Shanying strode to Redick's side, gave the fat sheriff a strong hug, and said with a smile: "My friend, it seems that you have been living a good life recently...

Your two nephews, Michael and Scott, are great too!"

Upon hearing this, Sheriff Redick smiled and said, "Thank you, Michael and Scott have made great contributions by saving people.

The state police are preparing to hold an awards ceremony for them, but that will have to wait until the injured National Guard members are released from the hospital."

Sheriff Redick looked Mountain Eagle up and down, smiled and lifted the yellow isolation tape to invite him to enter the scene, and said: "They have grown very fast in recent months, thanks to the cooperation of the Brown Bear Camp, they were able to establish a good relationship with the indigenous people in such a short time.

Shan, you have caused me a lot of trouble, but I must admit that my achievements today are also due to you. "

Shanying waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are friends, there is no need to say this!"

As he spoke, Shanying pointed at the besieged building with his chin and said with a smile: "What on earth happened in here?"

Sheriff Redick seemed to have thought of something particularly funny. He smiled and said, "A group of desperate guys broke into the police station and tried to rob our evidence warehouse, which contained confiscated items that were to be auctioned the day after tomorrow."

Shanying was stunned, then frowned and said, "Who is so crazy that he would rob the Anchorage Police Department?

What's in there worth risking your life for? Drugs? Jewelry?"

Sheriff Redick smiled and said, "There are 400 kilograms of gold in here, as well as a number of antiques and valuable trinkets that were confiscated in the past ten years. Oh, and there are a few confiscated vehicles in the parking lot.

This is our tradition. Once the confiscated items have been stored for more than ten years, the state police headquarters will send someone to organize a charity auction.

The outstanding balance will be used to update state police equipment and make up for the financial gap.

However, the 400 kilograms of gold were not old items from ten years ago, but were found in a secret warehouse under the name of Billy the Horned Man when I was investigating the case.

At that time, my people even had a fight with some gunmen for this batch of gold..."

Shanying heard this and asked curiously: "400 kilograms of gold?

You confiscated the gold, and now you are auctioning it off with great fanfare. Isn't that a little strange?"

Sheriff Redick looked at Shanying and said with a strange expression: "Shan, this matter has something to do with you..."

When Shanying heard this, he frowned and said, "I was the one who killed the Horned Devil Billy. Does this count as having something to do with me?"

Sheriff Redick shook his head and said, "No, to be precise, it is related to Ms. Li Xiaowan from your company?

Don’t you know that the person in charge of your company, Ms. Li Xiaowan, has donated a lot of money to the Anchorage Welfare Institute? Her trading company is opening up a specialty product trade channel between Anchorage and Dongda University…

Last week, Anchorage and Dongda Jinling officially signed a cooperation agreement to become friendly cities. The two sides will conduct in-depth communication and exchanges on specialty trade and charity.

Jinling has expressed a lot of investment intentions and will send a delegation in three months.

However, what Ms. Li Xiaowan cares most about is the construction of the welfare home and the exchange study program between volunteers and children in the welfare system on both sides. "

Sheriff Redick looked around, then leaned over to Mountain Eagle and whispered in a low voice: "The $200 million that Ms. Li Xiaowan donated to the welfare home last time was misappropriated. This time the gold will be auctioned to fill the gap and repair the welfare home facilities in Anchorage..." "Oh..."

Shanying suddenly looked at Sheriff Redick, who looked a little embarrassed...

This is not uncommon around the world. Although it is a designated donation, if the recipient is a disadvantaged party, it is difficult for all the money to end up in their hands.

I don't know what connections my wife used to create such a big scene, which made Anchorage see greater benefits...

The ultimate goal of friendly cities is actually to increase exchanges and then carry out in-depth cooperation between the two sides in economic and trade.

Anchorage is the most important port city in Alaska and a hub for world air transportation.

But if you want to know what they can provide to Dongda Jinling, then you are overthinking...

The energy prices here are too high and the mining is difficult, so it is not worth it for Dongda to look here. The export of aquatic products and minerals has reached its limit.

On the contrary, Jinling's huge market can bring huge investment benefits to Anchorage...

Tourism and seafood exports are both major industries that can be focused on for development!
You should know that although Jinling City is not ranked very high in the East, it is also a big city with an annual GDP of 1500 billion US dollars.

In the same year, the GDP of the entire state of Alaska was only over 50 billion US dollars!

What makes the Anchorage government so excited is not the trade exchanges that friendly cities may bring, which can only be regarded as people-to-people exchanges for the government.

What really matters to them is fiscal revenue...

What many people don’t know is that the second largest source of revenue for the entire state of Alaska is actually tourism!
The scenery here is unique. Although business is only open for four months a year, it contributes the second largest source of tax revenue to Alaska and provides a large number of jobs.

There are only 70 people in the entire state of Alaska, while there are 900 million people in Jinling. Even if only 2% of them have the ability and willingness to travel to Alaska for tourism and consumption, this will be a huge business.

If this really succeeds, the entire Alaska hotel and tourism industry will have to thank this Anchorage government.

From the perspective of the Anchorage government, this kind of unilateral benefit is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

However, before the two sides can have in-depth communication, they have to fill the hole they have dug.

Misappropriation of charity funds happens everywhere, but it is hard to explain.

People donate money to the government and ask you to do some work, but you spend the money. How can people believe that you are sincere in cooperating?

But now the Anchorage government has a limited budget, and borrowing money from the bank to renovate the welfare home cannot be approved by the city council, so they can only think of some crooked tricks.

It sounds like a good thing no matter how you look at it, the police department is auctioning off some of the confiscated valuables to raise funds to repair the welfare home.

After figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, Shanying sighed at his wife's ability to act, then looked at the embarrassed Redick and said with a smile: "It is definitely a good thing, but this kind of auction is always flawed. If the media catches you, it will probably not be easy for you.

How about this, you sell the gold directly to me, 1500 million US dollars, and I can transfer the money to you at any time.

But I have a few conditions...

First, the renovation of the welfare home must keep up!

Second, no obstacles should be set for charity projects!"

When Sheriff Redick heard this, he said stealthily: “Shan, tell me the truth, are you from Dongda or Thailand?

Ms. Li Xiaowan is now the president of the trading company you invested in. What is your relationship with her?"

Shanying smacked his lips and thought about it, and finally decided to tell the truth. After all, after Xuehu and the others took Xiaowan to Alaska, this matter could not be hidden from those who had ulterior motives...

"Xiao Wan is my wife, but due to some special reasons, we cannot be together for a long time.

But this can’t stop us from getting together…”

When Redick heard this, his fat face twisted into a knot. He looked at Shanying with a rather strange look and said "Oh", then looked like he understood...

Shanying wanted to ask this guy what he understood, but a gunshot in the police station attracted everyone's attention...

Looking in the direction of the gunshot, Shanying suddenly realized that it was not the small building that was besieged, but the building behind it.

Seeing Kobe and the ISA people rushing to the building behind them, pushing aside several state police officers, Shanying touched Redick beside him and said, "Is the temporary office of the Department of Homeland Security in the building behind?"

After hearing this, Redick nodded subconsciously and said, "Yeah..."

Shanying touched his chin, then looked at the small building in front, patted Redick on the back, and said, "Take your men with you, the robbers inside will surrender soon..."

When Redick heard this, he held his belly with both hands and said, "You're kidding, I'm the sheriff now, and I can retire in a few years..."
